Thoughts

We're approaching the end of ct week!!!! Yez

I actually like ct week this time, it's useful in making us study and the national day weekend/holiday has been rather good to me as well :-) Although........I haven't touched physics and math 2 sighz

Been talking to people quite a lot these few days, and it's really making me think

I used to believe that there are some things that people are just not cut out for (i.e chemistry, for me) but now I'm thinking, it's more of whether you want to or not

Which leads me to my next point:

"Want to do well" vs "Need to do well"

(Talking in terms of studies but it's generally applicable to life)

I'm sure I'm not the only one, but don't you feel like there are some things you should/die die must do well (aka study hard & scoreeee) and some you can simply forgive yourself for doing not-so-well, so you cut yourself some slack and put in less effort? And then there's also the things where you really like and want to do well in, though generally this would also fit in the "must do well" portion.

Everything's fine, until the things you "want to do well" become something you "need to do well", in this case for yourself or to maintain your gpa or whatever other reasons you might have. I think this creates unnecessary stress for yourself (whether it's self-induced or due to external factors) and might actually prevent one from doing well.........which in my case, is very true.

I'm not sure if I'm making sense haha my thoughts seem rather incoherent right now

And yes, another example from Elaine was how some Youtubers start making videos as a hobby/past-time, but it gradually becomes a source of income, and something you're actually forced to do..... for the sake of it.    And because of this you lose interest in it, yet you know you can't disappoint your fans etc. It's quite sad actually, and I believe this is why some people choose to keep their work and their leisure apart. Although it's not impossible to feel the need to do something and like it and do it well at the same time, but with the added pressure it's just not the same anymore.

Okay back to work. Or rather, "Start work". Feeling quite motivated today :-)
